“Our Customers Are More Satisfied, My Staff Is More Productive”
Hiring The Institute team as a consultant was the single most important decision that I’ve made in the 13 years that I have owned an auto shop.
Their recommendations and support have led to improvements in every area of my business. Our customers are more satisfied, my staff is more productive and better compensated, and the shop is running more efficiently.
Our average customer repair order increased 30% in the first 6 months after hiring The Institute for Automotive Business Excellence, and an additional 30% in the 6 months following that. Our total sales have increased 30%, and we are spending our money more strategically. The Institute’s guidance has been truly transformative for our shop.

“We Now Have Purpose In How We Run Our Business”
When we opened up our shop we were not supplied with the “Everything You Need to Know to Run Your Business” manual. We did the best we could but without knowledge we had no power to prosper. That is when we met the team at The Institute. Their knowledge and go get em’ attitude got our attention.
What they offered us was the meat and potatoes of what we needed to do for our business to grow. We had been to many management classes & trainings but always felt there was too much touchy feel good stuff. After working with The Institute we now have purpose in how we run our business and we are prospering. The Institute team will not disappoint in helping get your business on track if you allow them to.

“We grew 100-200% year-over-year
during our consultation”
The first time I heard the team at The Institute present, I realized they were masters of the industry. Between our interaction with their team as private consultants and attending several of their classes, we grew 100-200% year-over-year during our consultation period with The Institute and I have the confidence to run my business successfully for many years to come. The team at The Institute has experience as technicians, service advisors and managers at some of the top independent shops and dealerships in the country and this alone gives them an edge over many of the other consultants in the industry.
